NetApp
NetApp, like EMC, is a top storage contender despite having no server business. Its success came from building a strong channel for its top-notch NAS and iSCSI SAN products. It also helps that IBM signed an agreement with NetApp under which NetApp products are also sold by IBM's direct and indirect sales forces. NetApp's status as a Channel Contender comes despite the lack of a small business product to replace the StoreVault line it ended early this year.
